>have a package still in customs
>the question of "to pay fee or not to pay fee" starts to arise

I think Europe is pretty comfy but I couldn't hate the import fees any more.

Either I pay a ridiculous fee every time I order something, or go in the grey area of marking things as a gift/lowered price in the hopes of avoiding a fee.

And always having to wait long for packages as well, since EMS is always checked and always gets a fee so if anything you pay more to eventually pay fees.

Is it really that bad I just want to buy shitty anime figures? I know there's a big european online store that sells a lot of stuff, but some things are twice as expensive there. It's because they actually have to legally pay all the fees and everything but there's just no right option.

I wouldn't even mind fees that much if they weren't so stupidly high. I'd gladly pay 5 euro for every single package I'd ever receive, instead of having to wait out if I get either no fees or have to pay more then 50% the original price on top.

Thanks for that, asshole. I'd have thought someone as social justice over weight in cosplay (this is not even the first time he's talked about it, the last time it came up there was also a sermon on racism in the cosplay community) would know not to fucking out someone as trans in front of a group of people.
On the off chance that he lurks this board: fuck you

I live in a turd world country. To order anything costs a fuckton of money, due to corupt customs, even if the product is $10.

I need to make or pay dough for something to be made, and that makes the whole costume too pricey to buy just ao i can wear it once or twice a year.

I just shipped off my gold shoes. I'm pretty sad about it, they were so cute. But I know that I coorded them badly and I was just trying to jump on the OTT classic train, so I'm also relieved in a weird way. I hope their new owner treats them well (despite them just being shitty BL)
Here's to me finding my own style and coording better. Good bye, babies.

Planning a convention for next year, nobody knows it but it's probably going to be my last big event for awhile. We had everything planned out and within the last week the entire plan fell apart. One person still wants to go, but she's pretty awkward/cringy and I don't know if I can spend a weekend in a hotel room alone with her.

Oh well, at least I had fun this year if this future event can't be patched up...

I've had sjws try to shame me for wanting to eat healthier and exercise more. I'm not even trying to lose weight (although losing a couple inches around the waist would be nice).
Something about fat shaming because I apparently think I'm fat and I want to lose weight because according to them, I think that fat = unattractive.

>be cis male
>fall in with a group of female cosplayers
>said group becomes almost entirely FTM except for one
>trying to be supportive but still can't help feel awkward half the time

I feel like a complete shithead, but I honestly still feel like I've been caught completely off-guard by how sudden (relatively speaking) everyone came out after the first one, especially since I never saw the most recent one coming.

I worry that if I try to hash out details and ground rules (how do I talk about you in the past tense? will you think any worse of me if I use the wrong pronoun by accident and apologize? can you please not bring your other FTM friends who I don't know into the room when I'm not awake, because that shit doesn't even fly with my cis friends?) I'm gonna end up stirring up a ton of con drama. I'm legitimately concerned that if I ever address the obvious elephant in the room just to organize my own thoughts, it'll be taken as an attack because it's not 100% unquestioning support of their transition.

Worst part is, one of them is on T, has gotten more aggressive than he was pre-transition (and he could be pretty confrontational back then), and he's significantly bigger than I am. At a certain level, I worry I'll never be able to cross over from "awkwardly supportive ally" to "completely supportive ally" without getting my ass kicked and destroying our entire cosplay group because I accidentally struck a nerve. For that matter, I'm worried he'll eventually strike one of my nerves since he likes to make jokes about my masculinity (or lack thereof) and that'll have the same result. I don't really care about how masculine I appear, but one of the other FTMs is pretty similar to me and I'll know end up sticking up for them if he picks at those aspects through me.

Wish I could just have normal con drama where people act cringy and do stupid things while drunk. At least those things just stay at the con instead of putting your entire social circle at risk.

I'm not delusional enough to think I pass 100% of the time, I think most of the people working that night probably already had a clue but they're all decent enough people that they weren't going to bring it up or anything. When I first trained, my trainer asked my pronouns because she wasn't sure (boss had introduced her to me using my legal name even though it wasn't what I'd told them to use). Thankfully, none of my older coworkers were there, those are the ones I would expect trouble with,

Hello friend. While all people are different, I would say that I, as an ftm cosplayer, it hurts when you get misgendered, even in the past tense, but if someone corrects themselves and/or apologizes, that really makes a huge difference. In the situation you're in, it's perfectly fine to be honest and say "I want to be as supportive as I can, but I might need a little guidance" or something along those lines. If you can take your one friend aside and mention that poking at your masculinity is hurtful to you, maybe even mention how your other friend could be hurt by aggressive-chan's comments, that's a good place to start. And if he blows up at you over that, fuck him. Yes, T makes you quicker to anger but honestly if he's become unreasonable his dose probably needs to be adjusted.

Or there's always the option of setting out on your own and trying to find new friends. Either way, good luck.

My friend's ex used to do this to her and while I believe he did have serious mental health issues, he was also using them to jerk her around and get gratification. He'd go off the grid for long enough to make her worried about him and then say he was suicidal. She would drop whatever she was doing to message him, talk to him, or meet with him. She got into the mindset that if she didn't support him like that, he would actually kill himself.

Don't let him use you like this. Yes he has problems, but you are a friend, not a mental health professional. He needs a professional.

I'd see if you can call the National Mental Health Association Hotline 800-273-TALK (8255) yourself and ask if there is a way to get your friend the help he needs in spite of his objections. They may even have pointers on how to reduce costs. There may be a way to Baker Act his ass and get him some help. He may get angry at you, but it's better than being dragged around by his depression.

Thanks - these people really do matter to me, so I really don't want to abruptly cut ties and try and rebuild my entire social circle, doubly so when I owe some of them a lot. I might try to bring up how "punching down" at different concepts of masculinity isn't appreciated if it happens again, but he already knows I treat my own masculinity as less a way to define myself and more a "somebody's gotta do it" sort of duty, so I'm not sure how authentic I'll sound.

Odds are really good they're just transtrenders. Less than 3% of the population has gender dysphoria, there's no way an entire group would "suddenly" all become trans.

Honestly, a big part of it is that transtrenders like to try to convince other people that they are also trans. "Oh, you like wearing jeans instead of dresses? You are probably trans".

It's kinda been a while coming, but my boyfriend and I (who had been my best and sole friend before we got together) just broke up. I thought we'd make it to at least beyond Christmas but it seems he just doesn't wanna make the effort and I'm tired of being treated like I'm not here. I just dropped almost £200 on tickets for us to an oversees loli event mid next year, and I'd spent over £100 on him for Christmas. We're meant to be going to a con together (already have tickets) next weekend, and we booked flights to go see some of his friends after Christmas.

I don't think that's it, and even if it was, it's none of my business anyway beyond making sure I'm not being a dick and not realizing it. This happened over the course of a few years, so it just seemed really quick since I don't see them much outside of cons.

Honestly, I joke that it's all because I said some things to a trans person once that I really regret and some higher power has a mean sense of humor about it.

I'm not sure what makes you believe you're above dating some slut with bad self-esteem, but it's very apparent why you've never had sex.

Fun fact about women without sexual experience; if they're not clingy and obsessive to the point of being unhealthy and smothering you, they're significantly more likely to cheat on you or dump you out of the blue. Most people who have fucked just one or two people naturally want to see what others are like and tend to get bored easily. The most loyal and appreciative girlfriends I've had (including my fiance of 3 years) were ex-sluts because, unlike girls without experience, they know what other men are like and aren't curious about what they're missing. Sounds like that girl you threw away probably would have really appreciated someone who treated her well and would have given you amazing sex. Oh yeah, when you're a virgin and date other virgins, they're often far less interested in sex since they have nothing to compare it to, so they just assume it's not that great as their only experience was with someone who didn't know what they were doing. Sluts know your lack or experience can simply just be fucked out of you and often get a thrill from being your personal sex trainer. Obviously, this is a huge generalization, plenty of sluts are trainwrecks and plenty of virgins are sweet, I'm just saying that your idea of pure virginal waifu is an extreme romanticization far from the reality you would most likely end up in.

Also, I will never understand why your type thinks all women are whores. They're not, plus men are way bigger whores as a whole, this is just a biological fact. Then again, I guess when you're a beta virgin getting your info on women from other beta virgins, you're not really going to have an accurate picture in the slightest.

So yeah, have fun dying alone due to your misguided pure girl requirements, while I enjoy having amazing sex with a girlfriend who treats me like I'm the second coming of Christ.

If they're Under The Sea tickets, you'll sell them in a minute flat, especially with Tea Party tickets. Same goes for the tickets - if you can't get a refund from the airline and cancel, then maybe ask someone to pay you part of the price, and for the fee to change the name?

Yeah, I was originally going to sell our tea party portion of our tickets, but I think I'll go to both now, and just hold onto his tickets for now incase I can get anyone else to come with me. I know I'd sell the tickets in a heartbeat, but if I find someone nearer the time that would like the ticket, it'd be much harder to get them tickets then. Just gotta cover the cost until I know one way or another... With the flights, he said if I don't want to go anymore and he gets a job in time (he was made redundant last month) he'll reimburse me my flight ticket, it's just shitty timing is all.

From experience, the longer you put up with someone's shit in the hopes that you're giving them time to change, the less they actually respect you, and get used to treating you badly because they know you'll take it. Before my relationship just gone, which was only 9 months, I'd been with the guy I was seeing before for over 4 years, and no matter how much he told me he would change, he just treated me worse and worse because I let him get away with it. I told him what was wrong but there were never any consequences for his actions until I dumped his ass

My mother is a nurse with a bachelors degree but all she needed was a associates degree for her 40 dollar per hour job. People make things sound so hard but as long as you keep going at it things tend to fall into place. Just dont give up. Nobody else in my family has a college degree either yet they're still financially stable. You'll be just fine.

It sucks...
I had to sell skirts because they fit too tight in my waist.
Idk why they list they don't say it's the underbust because waist in my mind it's the natural one, there is a big difference we aren't shaped as tubes.

For this when i finish my undergraduate i'm gonna stop with university, get a job or open a small shop instead to lose time with some shitty uppergraduate degree (mfw for my course there isn't much and most people is unemployed or they can't find a job... yes as a teacher). Better have a good job or selfemployed with no degree rather have a degree but can't find the job of your field, settle for a underpaid or too many hours job. Wish i could have been in a medical/scientific field because the job hunt and pay would be better but my damn literature degree other than teaching (hard to find too unless it's underpaid a lot and not guarantee to work all the time) or tourism related stuff doesn't offer lots of good jobs unless you choose a job not many people choose.

I think you probably know what you have to do, but you can't just let anons on the internet tell you what to do, you have to realise yourself that you need to put an end to this, or he'll just keep on walking over you.

I think I've come to the realization that I have an extreme shopping addiction. I have gone from having about 2 dresses and literally one blouse and nothing else just last year to now, 6+ dresses, a fuck ton of blouses, cardigans, shoes, accessories and wigs. I know that doesn't seem like a lot compared to some but considering I am a student that pays for part of my tuition, car payments/insurance as well as repair costs since I recently damaged it, it's pretty bad that like 25% of my paycheck every two weeks goes to lolita plus my other hobbies like figurines and video games.

The other sad thing is that I never have time to play the games, take pictures of the figures, or wear lolita out because I get one day off a week between school and work so basically I only get pleasure out of buying the stuff now, not even utilizing any of it.

I think it's been really bad recently because I've realized I'm in love with this guy that I can't be with and this past weekend, I thought I was going to lose him (he was back home for 2 weeks, has this disability and called me crying, thought he was dying etc) and because we can't be together, it's making me just... instead of eating my feelings, buying them I guess?? I don't know.

Sorry for block of text, just needed to write out my thoughts. I mean at least I have a bomb ass frilly wardrobe out of all of it and managed to buy Toy Parade after years of pining after it. It's just the empty feeling inside that's making me feel like shit.

Feeling guilty as hell because I wasn't supposed to buy any more lolita this year, but I saw a JSK in person that I've been admiring online for ages and it fitted really nicely. I spent like $130 on it and basically emptied my savings... (I've been paying the rent on my own until recently because BF was unemployed and I just paid my grad school fees a few weeks ago...) Now I have to live on next to nothing until pay day.

It's so pretty but I won't even get to wear it until January at the earliest because I've got so much uni work atm that I won't be able to go to any meets. Even worse there are a load of practical things I REALLY need to buy - e.g. my backpack zippers are breaking, boots are leaking.

Also I spend all my 'free' time on the internet browsing lolita rather than being productive.

Lolita is taking over my life.

Sounds like my ex. We were together seven years, the first three were good but kind of rocky but then he just constantly treated me like garbage and made those same excuses. I wasted so much time on him and I'd do anything to go back and end things sooner. I even lost all my friends over it.

I'm happily married now with someone I just discuss things with who doesn't humiliate me or shout at me whenever we argue. I really wish I'd known better.

My sister has a similar issue. The only thing you can do is be strict with yourself and decide on a budget of sorts. For me, I can't buy a new game unless I complete another one first, my sister can't randomly shop for clothes, she has to plan those trips. Maybe find something cheaper that also gives you that same boost like lipstick or treating yourself to something cheaper that you enjoy (coffee and a muffin or something). It sounds dumb but it can help. Just be compassionate to yourself and try to recognise the thrill of spending wears off so quickly.

it's frustrating because he doesn't even yell...he talks calmly in this demeaning sarcastic voice that he jses whenver hes being an asshole and it gets me all riled up so I start yelling and then he tells me to stop yelling and makes me feel even crazier. Ugh. Sorry for venting but I really can't talk to anyone about this. He doesn't want me to talk to my family about our problems and I don't want to worry my frienss because they'd react like "leave him now omg!" And it'd be too stressful to explain to them kts harder than that.....

Honestly, I think that's how our arguing started. He used to be really rude and sarcastic to try and get a rise out of me but then I'd be crazy or unreasonable for responding how he was clearly provoking me to. It's extremely manipulative once you see what they're doing. They can be mean and pick a fight but you're bad if you respond to it. Anyway, it escalated and got considerably worse but that's how it started with him, he was always the victim too and I couldn't tell anyone else, his orders. Such mind games. It still upsets me to think about after all this time, we were childhood sweethearts, he was my best friend since we were tiny.

Even if you're the perfect girlfriend it doesn't matter if they aren't trying too. Maybe you can fix things and they'll be how it was when it was good. If you can see he isn't trying you should take it as a sign though. Hugs though, I'm crossing my fingers for you. Do what's right for you.

Consider writing a journal. Even to write/type it all out then destroy/erase it can be cathartic. Sometimes writing it in letter form to whoever you're upset at helps. Buying stuff won't fill an emotional hole.

Budget or regulate your purchases - only spend $x on fun things, after factoring in all your other living costs. Like the other anon said, don't buy new games until you've already played the games you have (though with game sales I know how hard this can be sometimes, ha). Don't bring new items into the house unless you have someplace to put it, or you get rid of something old (sell it?).

If it's truly bad, consider paying down then closing excess CC accounts. For online stuff, consider closing accounts or putting on a ridiculously long complicated password that isn't so easy to type in when you want to buy something.

Don't completely deprive yourself though, make sure you do something good for yourself periodically. Maybe consider doing something other than buying stuff - spa day, a daytrip to somewhere you love, etc.

I was brought up to never buy things you can't afford so I don't have an overdraft or credit card, I've always been really careful so seeing a bank balance of like $20 really scared me.

I'm the same as you about the commercials and things, but you've got to toughen up a little. There aren't enough people in the world that care about other people, so for you to be one of them is really important. That's a waste if you're unable to do anything with it.
It's okay to cry, it's okay to feel, having friends you can talk to about that is the healthiest thing but keeping an honest diary is good too. But at the same time, you need to be strong enough to use those feelings, you should start doing something good, even if right now all that it can be is making sure you look out for people you know, in future I want you to try volunteering or even working somewhere where a bit of humanity is needed. It could be giving a few hours to supporting a crisis line once a week, it could be actually helping people your life's work.
Good luck anon, it's easy to not care and to be an asshole, but to care and actually do something about it is ten times as hard.

Been staying in my room for 3 weeks. All studies are done through online lecture recordings (god bless the lecturers who do that) I did my best to avoid any human interaction. Even delivery options scare the hell out of me (& it does not help that I got yelled at when I tried to do a food delivery once last week) Will only come out and buy groceries during midnight. Feeling suicidal and having the thought of self-harm too. The only thoughts that keep me in check is cosplay and lolita. I wanna wear that coord I have in mind. I wanna cosplay that character I love so much. I wanna graduate so I can have a nice job and support all my hobbies.

There's been more, but it's mostly her getting on my case about certain fandoms I'm into and my hobbies outside cosplay and jfash, or my choice in husbandos, just dumb shit.

That is curious that she would begin to get bitchier after starting to date your brother.

It doesn't sound likely but maybe she was on better behavior to get the guy and then as soon as she got him she decided to be herself cause the coast was clear?

I'd call her on it. I know it's awkward but some people have to be corrected curtly. Don't even get emotional about it. Just say the facts when she acts up.
>offhandedly points out that her's is soooo much more covered up than mine

Doesn't matter which is more covered, the construction of a garment sets it apart.

Seconding >>8729272 and their judgment that it sounds like Bitchy was just playing nice to get what she wanted. I would hesitate to confront her on it, though. I think your best bet would be to go to your bro and be like, "Hey, maybe I'm being paranoid, but has [Bitchy] been acting sort of different to me lately? What do you think?" If he comments on not noticing, bring up the situations you described here and ask that he keep an eye on it for you and ask Bitchy what's going on. Perhaps just him noticing it and commenting on it himself would be enough to get her to stop.

Most importantly, do not request he police his girlfriend or break up with her or whatever. You'll then be seen as the crazy, demanding one. Just asking him to be observant and talk to Bitchy about why she's being bitchy *should* be okay.

I'm a lolita too and I still don't understand the "I am having SUCH a bad week, I need to treat myself - by dropping a few hundred dollars on clothes!" mentality I see a few lolitas have. When I have a shit week I treat myself to a fucking Starbucks and pastry and just allow myself to waste a few hours with video games. I think spending so much money on an unnecessary item will only add to your stress in the long run...

I always thought that people who cried over getting a stain on a dress were rediculous. I never cry, last times were they told my grandma she had six weeks to live, and then my little sister had to get a biopsy for a possible cancerous tumor.
But I bawled my fucking eyes out and went into full hysterics, and then cried some more for feeling so fucking stupid.

I know I should have got them back, but I thought they were with my mom, traveling to that rural area is expensive, and have had a fulltime job since moving in with my boyfriend, so not alot of time off. This was all last night, and today I'm just really bummed out and kind of hollow. I looked back and there's only three pieces that I cared that much about but.. still. One was my ultimate dream dress.

I guess it's almost fascinating how so many people can't deal with failed uni careers. I know it's possible to get a decent life without a degree but in my country EVERYTHING requires a degree and it's not like I have the skills to start a business.

I don't even have any ambitions left which makes studying even harder. I'm trying to go with the flow but in the end since I have no goal or motivation for my degree I just end up not doing anything.

I think you should either change your major or drop out. There isnt a reason to make your life miserable trying to do something you have no interest in doing. If you have no interest in your degree it isnt the one for you. Look at classes you actually like/do well in.

Also dont do the thing where you shut down options without actually trying them out. It is easy to say that you 'need' a degree for a job, but the world is far more complex than that and there are many people who make a living without that education as much as there is people who have a bunch of degrees but cant get a job. It isnt black or white.

Sometimes I really want to just leave lolita.
Not because of the drama or "negativity" or anything, but rather because my dresses just sit in my fucking closet unused. It feels like such a waste of money.
My comm is kind of spread out, and I am a carless college student, so I can rarely go to meetups. I was really excited for one planned this weekend, but my friend bailed on me, meaning I not only can't go, but I also lost my reservation costs.
I've tried to do the whole "lone lolita" thing, and it just doesn't work for me. I don't enjoy going out for things like tea by myself, and none of my (few) friends would be into doing something like that with me.
With school, too, I hardly have the time to keep up with things like the online community. I feel so out of the loop half the time.

I guess I don't know what to do. I love lolita and the community, but life seems to not want me to be able to enjoy it anymore.

What about wearing your dresses on your free time (not necessarily for tea by yourself but for doing any errands you may have, or at your home/dorm), or for class? If your wardrobe is full of prints and you like OTT, try toning down your pieces to make them wearable for daily use for a change; it may be a challenge but it might be worth it.
The fashion can be enjoyed outside of meetups, and you don't have to keep up with any community to have fun with it. Remember, they're clothes first and foremost.

I do wear lolita occasionally on days when I don't have more "professional" classes, but I'm a big fan of sweet (not OTT, even, just food prints), and the reactions I get from people usually stress me out way too much. They're not even bad; it's just that constantly being asked why I'm dressed up all day really starts to wear me down. By the 10th person, I'm usually wishing I hadn't worn it.
I have class 5 days a week, and while I could (and occasionally do) wear it out to run basic errands on the weekends, it's just not as fun as being able to be around people who also enjoy it.
Winter is finally coming here, too, so commuting via bus ~1 hour a day in the snow and frigid temperatures in lolita is not really a fun option.

Lolita is clothing, but it's also nice, somewhat elaborate clothing. I try to tone it down and wear it to school and whatnot when I can, but it still grabs a lot of attention and isn't always appropriate, imo.

I dont think you really are cut out for this. You dont seem to put a lot of effort into this fashion and your issues stem from that. You could easily travel that hour to go to meetups, in a world of taxis, uber and buses there are ways to get there besides depending on others to drive you. If you really wanted to go to meetups then you would make it happen. Even ignoring the comms, you dont even need to do 'lolita' things to go out and wear the clothing. Do what you like to do with your friends but just wear a dress and be silly.

No one is going to hold your hand throughout life. You will get stares, and people will think it is weird. You either get over it and do shit that makes you happy or accept an alternative fashion is not for you.

Just sell off your lolita except for the couple things you absolutely love and switch over to otome or some other general jfash that isn't as elaborate as lolita. If you do get the opportunity to go to some meets, you'll have a couple dresses on hand. But if you still want to wear something cute and different daily, diving into a more 'wearable' daily fashion is a better choice.

If its altered you need to sell it at a pretty radical discount. The dress is no longer worth what it was originally because it is no longer original. If you're really in need of money, price them accordingly and sell them off. Take offers on them.

Broos, are you me? Wanted to take a semester off, parents said I could not and I just stooped going to class my JR year of uni due to anxiety and depression. Instead of going to class I would just collapse in my apartment and cry. Or watch the train tracks or traffic and dream about jumping into it.
Tried to contact the school psychologist, his opinion was "You won't be anxious if I let you drop these classes so you don't really have anxiety so I can't help you"
Then my grandfather died during finales and I just could not function.
Some teachers were cool about it, some teachers told me to fuck off, called the dean and I had to prove my grandfather had passed to miss the final without the auto F. Then, since he was my mom's dad I had to prove that was my mothers maiden name...
In the end I could not pull myself together in time and the incompletes turned to F's and I was dismissed from the uni.
Tried to appeal it but the dean took herself off the comity and they denied my appeal. In retrospect I should have gone to my adviser and had him right them a letter instead of the crappy one I did but oh well.

Have not told my parents or boyfriend to this day that I was dismissed. That was 4 years ago now. Told them I was firmly taking a semester off and just never went back. Dealt with all the "No you will never go back" and the screaming because I was too scared to admit I failed. They still give me shit about it.
"when are you going baaack?" NEVER. FUCK YOU. I NEVER want to feel that way again and you have no idea just go fuck yourself. My grandma went up to me at my grandfathers funeral and asked "Your graduating this year, right?"

I work in retail management now. My then boyfriend and I are engaged. I'm staff on a convention I really like to be part of. I'm in recovery now.

Job kinda sucks, but I am glad with even all that shit I did not end it, even though I very much wanted to.

I just really need some time off. I'm stuck in a cycle of waking up, going to class (despite failing half of them I do always go to every single class), going home and sleeping.

All my social contact (outside of family) is at uni.

When I have a break all I do is sit in my room and browse the internet. I can't even be as productive as I want with drawing things anymore.

If I leave Uni now I know I'll never be allowed to study that bachelor at that uni again but honestly I feel nothing but a deep layer of stress.
It may sound weird but at this point I'm so stressed I just block everything out and can't find the motivation to study even the slightest bit.

I feel like a disappointment to everyone, my family didn't have the chances I have when growing up and I'm wasting all of them.
My siblings are succeeding in life because they work hard, and I, the 'smart' one can't even sit down and study for a single hour.

I hate myself. I really do. I can't think of a single redeemable trait I have.

For now I just want to quit Uni and try to sort my life out and break out of this unhealthy cycle where I wake up and have nothing planned. No trips. No fun outings. No celebrations.
I need to find some form of motivation again, I can't function like this anymore. But my parents won't allow me to quit Uni, no matter how much I want or they'll just guilt trip me.

Not any of the previous anons, but last semester was brutal for me. I climbed onto the railings of the staircase (like the outer part) and just sat there, contemplating jumping if only to just end the stress and shittiness I was feeling. I was just holding out until the summer because I had promised some friends I would do AA with them.

I'm kind of glad I didn't kill myself since I've strengthened my relationship with one of my friends, and we're both doing really good now. I'm still worried about relapsing though, especially if I don't do well on my finals this semester and fail a course. It sounds trivial when phrased like this, but I honestly feel there's no point in living if I don't have the ability to even pass these classes.

You do need help. I hope you read all the syllabi for your classes since you can fail just by being absent too often. You should ask yourself if you're in the right mental state to be taking classes. Is school helping you aim toward something and stay focused, or are classes putting more stress on you?

A friend of a friend was severely depressed/self harming, and I kept telling my friend to encourage her to give school a pause and get well. She didn't listen (no one wants to hear they can't "fix" someone or encourage them to prioritize their health over school), and about a year later after they attempted suicide and dropped out of school anyway.

If you can manage both your mental health and school, great. But if it's an option, there is nothing- NOTHING- wrong with taking care of yourself and putting school on hold.

I was never in a situation before where I was in a shit situation that I HAD to leave my residence. I moved because it was nice having the power on for more than two months in a row, and not have people taking drugs around me, not because I had to leave. We had stayed in our old house for four years, and they had moved to take care of my step dad's dad because he was old and can't take the best care of his self. They were only there for three~months, and since my mom said that some of my boxes were at my sisters house(who opted for an apartment instead of the old mans), I just kind of assumed they were with my sister. When they werent, my mom talked so nonchalantly that they were put up, I just thought they were at her house instead. So that's why there wasn't an urgent need to get them. I've never had my stuff trashed before so.. not exactly something I thought was in the realm of possibility.

Don't worry, anon. Busy dresses may look better unworn, but once you wear it, people tend to be more focused on the dress than on you. Simple dresses would make your natural beauty resplendish, and you can always find cuts that would suit you better than the last shirred AP print (well, maybe it looks awesome on you, I don't know). Don't get dresses you don't like because of him, anon, don't worry. That's pretty impossible to find someone with the exact same tastes than you in all domains.

I think you need to discuss this more
Instead of just deflating. Why has he decided he doesn't want to move in? Ask him to give a reason. Finances? Is the location he's at super convenient? If not the other option is he's not committed to you or the relationship and is treating it as more of a fleeting thing, which means maybe you should move on.

He won't give me an actual reason, he just goes in a lenghty rant about "growing the fuck up and accepting responsibilities, but still being way too immature to make such a commitment". I think he'd rather move and spend some time alone dealing with adult life before having to take me in. Still, it hurts.

I had this toy when I was a baby, I remember how much I loved it. I used to play with it everywhere and I was so little. I remember scratching the glitter on the castle, accidentally snapping off a flag, losing the pink princess and being heartbroken over it. I made them live with the lego people and playmobile people, and that castle was set up near my first computer too. Eventually I think I donated it or put it in the attic when I was a "big kid" and got rid of my old toys and polly pockets and stuff. But I kept some of the parts- I have the little frog in my jewelry box still next to my sweet lolita things. I've been thinking about making an area in my room more sweet and cute for photos (room threads really inspire me) and man the nostalgia hit me so strong.

Also Milky Planet always vaguely reminded me of this toy and that fueled my want for that dress even though I don't do OTT sweet.

I'm trying to distract myself by working on cosplays. And spending a lot of money. Upside is I'm already done with Christmas shopping and have three new dresses and a cosplay coming in the mail. I've been drinking a lot though.
Protip: don't drink a whole bottle of vodka while watching Anna Karenina. You'll end up puking on your cat and in your drunken state, will attempt to clean it up with a newly opened $30 pattern. Then you'll realize what you've done and cry while pissing yourself.

That's kind of a weird that you're reacting so violently to people (and a dog) dying "around" you when you didn't even know them personally? I'm not trying to sound insensitive but it doesn't even seem to dawn on you that this is an odd reaction. If it's death in general that's scaring you you need to see a therapists, and you most likely should in general. I hope things get better for you.

I probably should have mentioned, but I did know them all personally. And for quite some time. That's why I'm taking it so hard. Actually, the only one I didn't know was my aunt's dog...So I guess I don't see my reaction as odd?

Thanks, anons. I'm concerned about blocking her anywhere because I'm afraid it'll start some sort of shit storm of her blowing on Twitter or her fb over it (it's happened before), but it probably is best if I talk to the mods. She hasn't added anyone who would get her into Lolita or anything, just people who she thinks are attractive and good looking to be around, though I doubt she really talks to them. I have had people tell me that she's been talking about me, and that really pisses me off, because she basically says that we used to be best friends and then I treated her bad and ditched her for some guy.

Basically what she did to me was this:
>broke up with boyfriend of 4yrs
>super vulnerable, wanted comfort
>sets me up with some guy, says he's great and we'll get along fine
>he's incredibly abusive and does a fuck ton of drugs
>see him for three weeks, leave him
>feel like life is falling apart, fear for safety
>go to her about it
>she literally laughs and says "that's what you get" (for fucking what, I don't know)

And while those are probably satire I just can't help but relate except that I just really want an SO to cosplay with or just do weeby shit with but also wont get on my case about muh kpop.

It maybe doesn't even have to be a bf, we could do non-couple-friendzone cosplay like Natsu and Erza. It's kinda pathetic that the only thing keeping me away from doing any cosplay in general is the lack of SOMEONE to do do it with. I browse through help threads, even asked a few questions, but have never done any of it.

God, I feel like such a cunt.
Whenever something good happens to me its at the expense of someone else, and lately it's been my friends who have taken the blunt of my happiness.
You'd think I'd be happy, since some things are going my way, but guilt and anxiety is making me more depressed than ever before.
It's times like these I wish I was 12 again and living with my folks and everything was alright.
I have no motivation anymore, no will to do anything other than go to work and earn my meager paycheck.
My inferiority complex makes sure I never try really hard at any of my creative hobbies because what's the point right? It's seriously affecting my cosplaying where I get stunted before I even start because my head is telling me it's just gonna suck anyway.
The only thing that gives me joy now is collecting figurines and brand, too bad it's giving me economic problems as well, right?
I should stop, but then I would have no reason to live anymore.

got some JM in the mail that i've been waiting for, so that was nice

>friend wants to come over to try on some of my ouji things
>i always provide snacks when ever they come over (they've been over at least 5 times now)
>they've never brought anything
>i ask them to bring a drink this time because i can't be bothered to go out
>they tell me "just drink water"
>mfw
it makes me sad and disappointed that they can't grab a drink on the way (i know they pass lots of shopping centres on the way). i actually prepared other snacks already, would it be bad of me to not bring them out because of this? it feels a bit petty but...

I wish I had lolita friends who weren't catty gossips, especially about people they don't know. I don't mind it from time to time, I guess, but when it fuels 90% of your conversations, it honestly gets old. I thought making friends in my comm would be different than cgl meets, but almost anyone I've met who is involved enough in the fashion to be decently dressed is also into the drama. Even people who aren't well-dressed seem to get a kick out of gossip all the time. Is this just how people are? Am I naive?

I would say I'm not like that, either, so I get your point. Maybe it's my area or the fashion or something. I just really hate trying to engage with people to have them look at me like I'm weird for not having a clue who most of the strangers they're talking about are. I guess I should accept that just because we all like frills doesn't mean we'll have anything else in common or be able to be good friends.

A similar thing happened to my friend a few months ago.
>I had no lolita friends
>Friend is interested but doesn't know where to start
>Convince friend to start out
>She buys a full bodyline coord. It's nice and matches and I give her the go ahead.
>Two days later Yanners birthday 50% off sale
I felt so bad but she said she was going to buy it anyways. She even put in another order at half price so I finally have a friend to frill up with.

Not much to say besides I got dumped recently at a con after having a severe panic attack at said con.
He kind of made it seem like it was my fault because of my depression and anxiety. And that his "romantic needs" (aka sex) weren't being fulfilled. I mean, we were in a long distance relationship, and I told him that if he ever needed to, he could take care of that, because due to my past, sex just isn't something that I'm great with/physical contact in general. I took so many steps for him and it just felt like I either got in my own way, or he couldn't deal with my mental problems and just didn't address it.
Honestly I could feel it was gonna happen, I just wasn't expecting it at a con. We were supposed to be rooming together too.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 24 11:02:27 2015 No.8734113 >>8734107 it ended for the best. don't blame yourself, or him. people break up all the time. if you're not in treatment though, consider it before trying a new relationship. especially with your panic attacks and "past."

Oh I'd never blame him, I'm just super positive he's blaming me. Whenever I tell my closer friends what happened they all seem to reach a general consensus that he was trying to make me feel bad so he wouldn't have to be the bad guy. Something like that. So ever since that happened I've been blaming myself and my issues.

I'm actually seeing my first psychiatrist starting in December. Lost my insurance so trying to deal with that as well.
I moved (before the break up) when I wasn't ready to so I've been absolutely stressed out and I rarely have panic attacks unless it's a really bad trigger. That Friday night of the con he was being really weird, and coupled with all the stress, I just broke. Thankfully one of my closest friends rescued me. I wasn't sure what would have happened if they hadn't come. It was terrifying, I've never had one that bad. I couldn't breath correctly, couldn't talk for a good ten minutes, and when I finally could I sounded like a derby announcer with a stutter.

I've been there. Maybe im just an asshole but blame happens no matter what in a break up. The question of 'why' always gets stuck in our head at some point. I found a little bit of anger can help focus you and construct a narrative for yourself. But i agree with anon doing you for awhile is always the best thing after a breakup

>Enjoy going to cons where friends live close-ish
>We always wind up having con after-parties that last a few days at whoever's house/apartment. We all watch animu and play video games and sleep in a giant dog pile on the floor, just generally have fun.
>There are designated people who cook for the group, I am one of them
>Big fun group grocery shopping trips to H-mart or where ever

I miss my con friends, I fell out of contact with them in recent years because of depression and irl problems, but cons were always so fun with them.

On a related note.
>Parents are white af and going through "asian cuisine" phase.
>They really want to start eating "stir fries" I am excited because they cook the same 4 or 5 things over and over again every week
>They make "stir fry". It is pork strips with asparagus, tomatoes, and feta cheese with no sauce. Mom tells dad he sucks and doesn't undestand what stir fry is.
>Fast forward a few weeks. They want to try "chicken teriyaki"
>I go into the kitchen and stop my dad from starting. He has out asparagus, tomatoes, feta cheese, and teriyaki sauce.
>"Uh, how about I cook dinner tonight." Parents rarely ever cook because they assume I can't? (I lived on my own at college for 4 years in an apt)
>Make chicken teriyaki stir fry like a normal human being.

I don't understand why my dad thinks all this strange stuff belongs in chicken teriyaki stir fry? He keeps doing these weird mash ups of the same old chicken with x bullshit on top "on top of rice" and calls it "asian food". Dad, no.

Except there are other men in the thread not being redirected elsewhere. It was one response, at least you didn't get the mini-mod telling you off. It sounds like things fucking suck at the moment. Self-medicating with alcohol or drugs is literally the worst thing you could do now though. Drop the girl, she isn't the person you hope she is or the person you need. Have you tried seeking treatment, talking to a doctor? No matter if your family seem disappointed in you, you can still repair things with them. Making that effort is the first step though.

You're wrong though. A feels thread on a cosplay board is hardly the place, the thread is slow moving, guys posting on topic have been getting replies. Criticising all women because of an extremely mild post by one person you assume is one is pretty fucking stupid, so is calling us cunts but you knew that already. Most people glossed over it because it's an awkward thing to respond to. Regardless, you sure as fuck weren't helping that anon either and I don't believe for a second you care. Just looking for a reason to attack someone.

I have serious feels about those with unsupportive families. My dad actively supports my cosplay even now at 25. He recently even bought me an air gun kit and compressor tank.

So it breaks my heart when I see friends pretty much get lectures and demands of 'starting a family' from their families. I often just go and hug him always thanking him for not trying to make me miserable because 'normal people don't do that'

I really have no idea, he has such gross ideas for food and it is always very fattening. My parents always drown everything in butter or their chicken is always this oven baked stuff drowned in BBQ sauce with all this weird shit on top. After years of handling my own meals and eating healthy, their food makes my stomach hurt so much.

>Makes stir fry. I comment on how no one restocked the garlic so I had to substitute with garlic powder. Sorry it's bland
